A relatively new UK game auction site, videogameauctions.co.uk (nice name), is clamping down on pirate game auctions with the help of the ELSPA. Since the site launched there's been around 1300 auctions placed on the site, with a large amount of pirated games being mixed among the legit auctions. Anything from fake GBA cartridges, PS2 and Dreamcast discs as well as illegally copied PSP UMDs (despite the fact that the PSP isn't even out in Europe yet) has turned up on the site. It's good to see a startup in the video game retail market clamping down so efficiently on the pirates. Especially when there's all that golden bounty to be had! Arrr!
Update: There were no, and I repeat, no copied UMDs found on the auction site. That got strangely added in the time between the original press release and the linked article. Hmmm.
